Aboriginal Art in Bali
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Only recently my wife went to Bali, and on her return the first thing that she said to me was that she was amazed to see aboriginal art being sold in a store there. She went there to investigate buying some huts for the Caravan Park that we hope to develop. During her sojourn she bought furniture, planter pots, statues, bed spreads, sheets, doonas, tiles, pavers and some huge doors like the ones that you see in mansions.
Expecting her to buy enough huts to fill 2 x 40' containers, now I think that we are going to need 6 x 40' containers to fit everything in. I have heard of women who are compulsive buyers, my wife up until now has never fitted into this category, but she certainly broke from her usual form. Never send your wife to Bali to go shopping. She rang me on the second day that she was there and told me that the shops never close, I asked her how she knew this, her answer, she went shopping until 2.00am.
We are going to have to go into the retail furniture business, because if we don't sell something we aren't going to be able to move in our home. Don't get me wrong some of the stuff is absolutely beautiful but where are we going to put it all.
It is like going back to biblical times when Noah built his boat. She bought 2 of everything, except for hand basins, 12 of them, and 5 Beds, 3 sets of 6 dining room chairs, enough tiles and pavers to do 10 houses, lions of varying sizes, elephants, cats, owls, you name the animal she has probably bought a statue of it.
But back to the fact that you can find Aboriginal Art for sale in Bali, is the demand so high for Aboriginal Art that we in Australia can't keep up with it, so our neighbours have generously assisted us to satisfy this demand. Tourists come to Australia to buy Aboriginal Art, but if you can buy it in Asia, or Europe or the USA, why come to Australia. I'll tell you why.
If you are buying on the Internet there is only one website where you can buy the art of young relatively unknown Aboriginal Artists. If you don't buy from the Aboriginal Art Sale website then the only other way that you can start investing in young Aboriginal Artists, and therefore potentially have a much greater return on your investment, is to come to Australia.
Spend a few months travelling round the country and buy up big, because it will be a long time before you come back. I say spend a few months because there are people who spend all year long travelling around Australia and they still haven't seen it all, it is a big country.
If you are buying Aboriginal Art purely for its beauty then why pay thousands of dollars for a famous artist when you can support a young up and coming Aboriginal Artist who can produce a similar piece of artwork. Work it out, you could spend tens of thousands of dollars buying the paintings of popular artists and sit on them and wait for years for them to appreciate in value or you can invest in young artists, spending less money and get a more rapid capital growth
